“You don’t necessarily need celebrities, as you

can make a change without them, however if

they do get involved it will make a larger difference as they will reach out to

more people. In my opinion it is better if

celebrities get involved.” Beam County Primary

School

“I say no because its not only celebrities that can inspire people to donate money, for example my

mum is not a celebrity and I am pretty sure she would probably convince like 20

people to donate to a charity, so that just proves that anyone can inspire people to do anything..”

Royal Alexandra and Albert School“People tend to be inspired

by the celebrities.”Hilltop Junior School
